The San Antonio Spurs (6-2) return to the Alamo City to host the Golden State Warriors (6-4) in Game 5 of their Western Conference Semifinals series which has now become a best of three.

The Warriors are coming off a 97-87 Game 4 overtime win over the Spurs in Oakland to tie up the series. The Spurs were led by Manu Ginobili’s 21 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists off the bench. The Warriors were led by Harrison Barnes, who scored a playoff-high 26 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Stephen Curry will play despite having an injured left ankle in the past two games.

Though the Spurs did lose Game 4, they did split their road trip to Oakland thus regaining home court advantage over the Warriors.

And as the Spurs look to retake the lead in their series against Golden State, here are five things to watch for in tonight's contest:

• The Spurs are 7-3 in Game 5 in a best-of-seven series under coach Popovich but have lost the last two, including a year ago to Oklahoma City in the Western Conference finals.

The San Antonio Spurs had a few big plays in Game 4 against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday afternoon. From a Danny Green put-back dunk to a ridiculous Tony Parker And 1 shot, the Spurs didn't have the usual "boring label" that's usually given to them.

The silver and black didn't come out with a win which would've been preferred by the fanbase, but it still made for some interesting TV.

You can check out the video of the NBA's Top 5 plays of Sunday below.

The sky is not falling -- last time I checked. The Earth is spinning on its axis and the Bobcats are still bound to their couches during the postseason. Everything is still OK.

San Antonio Spurs' Tony Parker recently joked about having a "copyright" on the teardrop, his signature move for years. As we've seen during the playoffs, other point guards have used the move effectively.

The NBA's YouTube page put a video up of the different point guards that have used it this postseason.

Who you think uses it the most effectively? Check out the video below.

This summer, Tiago Splitter becomes a restricted free agent. I know quite a few San Antonio Spurs fans who would have told you last year that they were looking forward to the day when Splitter could leave the Spurs for another team.

However, after improving on all of his numbers this year, almost as if he were auditioning for free agency, Splitter has become a lot more valuable to the team. Those that wanted Splitter gone might now be changing their tune.

Tiago made $3.9 million this year, but after working his way into the starting rotation and putting in some quality minutes, you can bet he’s due for a pay raise. The market will dictate his price, but everyone knows that big men can get a lot more because quality post players have become rather scarce these days.

So who has their sights set on landing the Brazilian big man?

Editor's Note: Gábor Zsivera, who is the chief editor over at Hungarian basketball site starting5.hu, and follows Spurs draftee Adam Hanga very closely, has agreed to contribute reports on Hanga every other week for Project Spurs. While we try to follow the international players the San Antonio Spurs have rights to frequently, we thought this was another great option for our readers to get regular updates from someone who is closer to all the action and covers it regulalry.

Adam Hanga has stepped up lately in the number one domestic basketball league of Europe as he was selected to the All-Star Five of the month of April in the Spanish ACB League by solobasket.com.

The Spurs draftee (2011, 59th overall) posted 18 points per game in that period, which was the second best performance in the the league. The Hungarian guard finished 2nd in the MVP rankings in April and he was named the best shooting guard of the month as well.

Right after his MVP of the week performance, he scored 12 points, grabbed seven rebounds, handed out three assists, had two steals and one block against CAI Zaragoza, but he couldn't help his team, Basquet Manresa to win on the road (89-62).

After looking like a superhero in Game 1 against the San Antonio Spurs, scoring 44 points and hitting six three-pointers, Stephen Curry has come back to earth a little bit. He’s still averaging a little over 20 points a game in the last three, but the Spurs have clearly found a way to slow him down a little bit.

Part of that success can be attributed to the defense of Danny Green. Curry’s numbers when Green has been guarding him are way below his average. Green has accepted his new role as Steph Curry’s shadow and is excited for the opportunity to continue.

San Antonio Spurs draftee Adam Hanga is apparently being wooed by Spanish club Bilbao in the ACB League but has turned down their offer according to his agent.

Adam Hanga rejected today for a 2nd time Bilbao's offer. Our primary target for next season is a EUL club, not excluding however EUc clubs

As his agent states, it seems Hanga will be looking to leave Manresa but in a follow-up Tweet, he says his client has two more years left with Manresa but his current contract has out-clause options.

If it appears the San Antonio Spurs took a step back in Game 4 after their domination in Game 3, it’s because four games into the series both teams are right back where they started.

If you thought Metta World Peace just reserved his "out there" behavior for the basketball court, then you haven't done yourself justice by visiting his Twitter page.

After the San Antonio Spurs' Game 3 victory against the Golden State Warriors, World Peace had this to say about a Spurs' shoes.

I think Tony Parker's shoes have magical powers. I want to interview Tony Parker's shows on a network. I need answers. He was like Iron Man! (@MettaWorldPeace)
